In any corner of the world, reallocation of land will trigger a large-scale war, and dynasty changes are the basic element, so Lee Myung-hoon will not start easily, because the premise of this reform of the fundamental system is to have the power to control the situation. The United States currently only has a strong army, but has not established a systematic administrative team. This is also the reason why Lee Myung-hoon asked He Wenrui to "start the southeast exam" first.

There are only two issues regarding land ownership at present. The first is that all the assets of war criminals, traitors and reactionary forces are collected as state-owned, and are not allowed to be traded and traded, but only leased. The second point involves the common people's landlords and rich peasants, which is the investment problem that exists in China's thousands of years of history.

You should know that in the feudal dynasty, royal relatives, nobles and gentry officials had privileges in law and taxation, while ordinary people or common people did not have such privileges, but wanted to enjoy such privileges and had to contribute on the land. Although the Ming Dynasty restricted the tax privileges of scholars at all levels, in practice, the privileged class could exempt or partially exempt taxes through various means such as tax arrears. The so-called contribution means that ordinary people entrust their own land to the name of the privileged class to avoid tax collection from the court.

In this process, the people only need to pay less than taxed land rent, reducing the burden. The privileged class obtained land and land rent out of thin air, and both sides took advantage of it. The only unlucky one was the country. In this process, common landlords and rich peasants were the main force of the investment, and the gentry who was liquidated is the main body of the "dedication". It can be seen that if all the land of the gentry is collected as state-owned, then part of the interests of common landlords and rich peasants will also be damaged. You must know that these people's butts are not clean, and a one-size-fits-all policy will lead to the complete loss of the efforts made by the Southeast scientific research.

Li Mingxun finally chose a compromise plan. First, he gave a comprehensive amnesty to the donors before the thirteenth year of Yongli. This means that if he had made a past matter, he would have passed it. If there was any contribution in the future, it would be an illegal act of tax evasion. Of course, under the United States system, there was almost no act of contribution, because everyone in the United States is equal in law, and tax payment is an important part of achieving equality. After Li Mingxun was sworn in as the head of the United States, he made his tax bill and property public. Similarly, public officials disclosed their property list and provided tax lists are necessary conditions for employment.

Although the amnesty is made, it does not mean that the devotees can take back their land from the United States for free. There are two types of contributions. One is to make false contributions, which is to devote other people's land to the privileged class, or to contribute their own idle land. This type is to collect all state-owned and not return them. The latter type is to make up for the self-dedication, that is, to contribute their own land to the privileged class. In this way, if you want to get back your own land, there is only one way out, that is, to make up for the tax exempted from the contribution, but to make up for the taxes in accordance with the United States' tax standards.

Obviously, this is a reasonable requirement. Because the taxes in the United States were much lower than those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, these people still took advantage of it. However, it should be pointed out that when the land was invested for more than a certain period of time, the tax paid was already higher than the value of the land itself, so in the end, only one-third of the devotees took back their own land.

Of course, all rules and regulations about land are in the planning. In fact, it was not until five years later that the United States truly implemented the "imperial power to the countryside" that it was true that these rules and regulations were implemented.

Li Mingxun stayed in Wenzhou for nearly two months, and his main job was to meet some scholars from Fujian and Zhejiang. As the head of state, his meeting with scholars was an affirmation of the policy of accepting common people, landlords and rich peasants. In September, in the autumn rain season, Li Mingxun rushed to the Zhejiang front line.

One thing can be confirmed in a summer time, that is, the main attack direction of the Qing Dynasty was in Zhejiang rather than Jiangxi. The Jiangxi direction only had the advantage of Shanguan. Apart from that, there were no other benefits. The attack from Zhejiang was many. First of all, Zhejiang was rich and was backed by Jiangnan, a heavy tax-heavy area. There would be no shortage of food and salary, and it could also support the operation of more troops. Secondly, the Qing Dynasty actually used defense as an offensive to protect the core areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The Southeast Military Region made a simple deployment, imitating the Qing Dynasty, set up a large camp in the Guangze area to defend, block Shanguan, and then sent a small number of troops to guard various major transportation routes and passes from Wuyi Mountain to Fujian, and stored the troops in the rear. Facing Shanguan front and behind, and facing other passes, front and back heavy. This requires only one brigade, plus the Fujian-Yi army and some public security troops, a total of only 30,000 people defended the wide front of Fujian northwest.

In the direction of Zhejiang, the United States occupied most of the three prefectures of Quzhou, Chuzhou and Wenzhou, but in terms of military configuration, the three prefectures are not the same. Wenzhou only has one brigade of marines to cooperate with a small number of security troops. Wenzhou is located on the coast and has to pass through Chuzhou or Taizhou to attack. Chuzhou is led by Zhang Shihua's Songjiang Yi army, and the Marines are the ones that follow. Needless to say, the direction of Taizhou, the Qing Dynasty did not dare to attack along the coast. Whether it is the United States Navy or the Zhoushan Ming army, it is a huge threat. Therefore, the core battlefield is still Quzhou, Zhejiang.

Quzhou is located at the crossroads of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces, and its location is extremely important. The rise itself is an important part of the Jinqu Basin. Quzhou is in hand and Jinhua is in sight. If it cannot be grasped and cooperate with the United States' ability to fight on the coast, the largest eastern Zhejiang in the middle of Zhejiang will fall into the hands of the United States. Quzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River. From Quzhou along the Qujiang River and conquering Jinhua, you can enter the Xin'an River, Fuchun River and Qiantang River to the north. The Qiantang River is the southern starting point of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. From Qiantang River, you can communicate with the entire water system of Jiangnan, Huguang and the Central Plains. In this way, all the key areas that the Qing Dynasty relies on for survival are not dangerous to defend, and Quzhou cannot capture it, so it will not be able to limit the United States to a corner of Fujian.

The Qing Dynasty attacked Quzhou also had the advantage, that is, it could conduct east-west attacks in Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and more effectively exert the advantages of the Qing army's numerous troops.

At present, most of the Qing army's northern reinforcements have entered Hangzhou Prefecture. Once the autumn rain is over, an attack will inevitably be launched. In terms of the general's choice, Prince An Yue Le is still the commander of the Qing army. However, because of the loss of Fujian, he has been reduced to Prince An, and the general Doni, who is in charge of the southern battle, chose to take charge in Nanjing.

In fact, this was also a helpless choice. Doni was just a young man who was young. Before going to the expedition, he had never had the experience of going to the battlefield. He had made him serve as a general and commanded hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the southeast and southwest battlefields. In addition to the reason why the Qing Dynasty had no sect kings to go to the battlefield, it was the internal compromise of the Qing Dynasty. Doni was forced to become a general. He thought he could reach the southwest, make some military achievements, and then return to Beijing in triumphantly, but he never wanted to be sent to the southeast to face the United States that he least wanted to face.

Doni's father and many relatives died at the hands of the United States, but Doni had no idea of ​​revenge. He felt powerless. His father and brothers, whom he regarded as a victory at a young age, failed. He must not be able to do so. Before going to war, Doni played pretending to be sick in Beijing, hoping to escape the disaster. However, changing the commander at the last stage was a taboo. Shunzhi scolded Doni and forced him to go south. When he arrived in Jiangning (Nanjing), the emperor was far away. Doni pretended to be sick again. When he was in Beijing, he pretended to be smallpox, which was the most common disease of the Qing nobles, and said that he had acne, but was discovered. This time, he could not help but be seen through. Doni followed Hong Chengchou and said that he was blind and didn't open his eyes.

The Qing court had no choice but to let it take charge of the southeast, so he let Yue Le make meritorious contributions on the front line, and Doni took charge of the overall situation in Nanjing and raised money and food.

Doni was like this, and the Belles who followed him south were similar. Fortunately, Doni also had Gushan Ezhen, a veteran of the commander of the commander of the commander of Yue Le. Yue Le received strong aid, and the army arrived at Hangzhou exceeded 100,000 again. Although these troops were to be launched in the three prefectures in southern Zhejiang, there were also troops attacking Jiangxi. The Qing army's army attacking Quzhou would not be less than 100,000, while the United States' army in Quzhou would not exceed 50,000, and the main force was two divisions in the southeast war zone of the Army.

Li Mingxun stood at the city of Quzhou Prefecture, looking at the telescope. The dust was flying in the distance. The horse teams galloped across the flat Jinqu Basin, chasing and attacking and killing. It was very lively. Since the United States occupied Quzhou, this has been the norm here. Because the army that occupied Quzhou was about to enter Jiangxi to assist Yanping's main force to force the Qing army in Fujian, it failed to capture Jinhua in time, resulting in this rare flat ground in southern Zhejiang becoming what it is now.

"We nominally occupy the Quzhou Prefecture, but in fact, due to the heavy destruction of the Qing cavalry, our occupation in Quzhou was not stable. Generally speaking, if it is not necessary, the army will not leave the city or camp, so neither the summer tax nor the autumn tax will be collected this year." Wu Mu explained on the side.

Li Mingxun is very clear about this. There are many water nets in the south, so the number of cavalry in the southeast war zone is relatively small, and artillery is mainly light artillery. The focus is on building elite infantry such as hunters, grenadiers, mountain infantry, etc., in order to win in narrow spaces such as valleys and rivers. There are also a large number of boat bridges and engineers to cooperate with the army. This type of small cavalry fights, and the Manchu, Mongolian and Qing army that control cavalry and shooting are more proactive.

"The Qing army is coming to attack this time, with great momentum. How are you going to fight?" Li Mingxun asked. Since the Battle of Fujian, he has begun to delegate commands to allow the commanders of the two major war zones in the Southeast and Beiyang to play a role. Therefore, a large number of experienced staff members in the command headquarters were directly delegated to the theater headquarters.

"Our plan is to shrink in Quzhou Prefecture and resist layer by layer, to defend Xianxia Pass as the bottom line, go north from Wenzhou to attack the Qing army," Wu Mu said.

Throughout the summer, the main force of the army was in Quzhou, with the intention of seizing the Jinqu Basin, and then using the Qianligang Mountains and the narrow mountain road buried in Kuaiji Mountains to block the attacks from the south of the Yangtze River and western Zhejiang, and then annexing the prefectures in eastern Zhejiang. However, the key is that throughout the summer, the army was unable to seize Jinhua and could only fight fiercely in the vast basin.

Wu Mu's plan to defend the west and attack the east, avoid the real and avoid the virtual. The reason is very simple. Not to mention that the Qing army had destroyed the agricultural production in the Jinqu Basin, even if not, the Quzhou army would have to obtain material supplies from Fuzhou through Xianxia Pass. From Quzhou to Pucheng in Fujian, there was more than 300 miles along the way, and there was no water transportation conditions at all. Especially the mountain roads that lasted hundreds of miles north and south of Xianxia Ridge, even horse-drawn carriages could not be used. If people only rely on people to resist the horse load, they would not be able to support tens of thousands of troops to engage in large-scale wars on the front line. The Qing army was completely different. Through the Qiantang River water system, the Qing army's supplies could be transported directly from the downstream to Jinhua and Quzhou, and the supply was very convenient.

According to the plan of the Southeast War Zone Command, a small number of elite cavalry and mountain brigades left behind to defend Quzhou to Xianxialing, and then the main force attacked from Wenzhou to occupy the coastal prefectures, forcing the Qing army to divide its troops and fight a large-scale melee throughout eastern Zhejiang.

Obviously, Umu is still the most aggressive general of the Chinese style. The battle will be pursued, and losing money will be a failure! In the short history of the United States, this is a criterion for whether to respond to the battle, because the United States is weak compared to the Qing Dynasty and cannot afford to lose any major war, so the war is always full of attention. Therefore, fighting in the mainland has been a rhythm of robbing and running. Until the Battle of Guangdong and Guangxi, the United States has made every effort to manage the mainland. At this time,

It is impossible to be more victorious. It is a passing cloud. At this time, victory or defeat can no longer be determined by making a profit or losing. Instead, the latter is never a problem compared with the number of cities that are restored and damage to our enemies. The former has become a resentment for mainland operations. No matter how many enemies annihilated in the battle, as long as the territory is lost, it is a failure. Because Wu Mu has the plan to attack, and if Quzhou is lost, it will be lost. At most, it will be lost. At most, it will be possible to find face on the coast.

"Don't be too concerned about the gains and losses in front of you when doing things, don't lose watermelons to pick up sesame seeds." Li Mingxun shook his head, not interested in Wu Mu's plan.

Now Fujian is clearing out the local area and needs military support. If a large-scale melee is fought in southern Zhejiang, the investment will be huge. What's more, the first war in the Southeast War Zone was to seize twelve prefectures in Fujian and Zhejiang. This time the scale is no less than the last time, but it can capture at most two or three prefectures and throw away Quzhou prefecture. It is simply unimaginable.

After listening to Li Mingxun’s explanation, Wu Mu frowned slightly: “What do you mean?”
